The House Agriculture Committee voted to report House Bill 4346 out of committee with substitute H‑1. The action came during the committee’s meeting after members confirmed they had taken testimony on the bill at a prior session.

The committee proceeded on a motion from Representative Leitner to report out House Bill 4346 with recommendations and substitute H‑1. The clerk conducted a roll call. The clerk announced, “Mister chair, you have 7 yeas, 4 nays, 0 pass. The motion prevails.”

The roll call as read in the transcript recorded the following responses: Chair Nyner — yes; Representative Wirtz — yes; Representative Leitner — yes; Representative Alexander — yes; Representative Fox — yes; Coombs — yes; Pablo — yes; Pies — no; DiebenDorf — no; Reingans — no; Skaggs — no. The committee chair then declared the motion prevailed and the bill was reported out with the substitute.

No substantive debate on the bill language or the substitute is recorded in the transcript for this meeting. The clerk noted that testimony on the bill had been taken at the committee’s previous session.

With the committee’s action, the bill and substitute will be included in the committee’s report to the next legislative step as appropriate.
